AMD To Challenge Intel on Ultra Mobile PC Chips

I’m rooting for AMD on pretty every thing that they challenge Intel on.

AMD ‘Bobcat’ to challenge Intel next-gen UMPC platform

Rival for ‘Silverthorne’

AMD will next year launch a processor specifically designed for ultra-mobile PCs (UMPCs), the chip maker revealed last week at the Computex show in Taipei.

Details remain scarce, but the chip is currently codenamed ‘Bobcat’, a feline moniker that perhaps aligns it with ‘Puma’, AMD’s upcoming notebook platform. Puma comprises new mobile chipsets and AMD’s ‘Griffin’ processor, the first CPU it has designed specifically for mobile applications rather than a tweaked version of its desktop processors.

It’s not hard to envisage Bobcat as a combination of processor and GPU with both of these components bonded together in a single package. But that’s just conjecture at this point.
